[Verse 1]
Well it's about time
It's beginning to hurt
Time you made up your mind
Just what is it all worth?

[Chorus 1]
All my useless advice
All my hanging around
All your cutting down to size
All my bringing you down

[Verse 2]
Watch the clock on the wall
Feel the slowing of time
Hear a voice in the hall
Echoing in my mind

[Chorus 2]
All your stupid ideals
You've got your head in the clouds
You should see how it feels
With your feet on the ground

[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Here I stand the accused
With your fist in my face
Feeling tired and bruised
With the bitterest taste

[Chorus 1]
All my useless advice
All my hanging around
All your cutting down to size
All my bringing you down
